[E-1] NAGAO SYSTEM INC.

NAGAO SYSTEM INC.

The 3D Ball Mill (3D Reactor) is a patented product developed in-house by NAGAO SYSTEM INC. The high-speed 3D motion is able to effectively pulverize, mix, and disperse materials very evenly, which could not be achieved with the previous technology (2D motion). This has in turn enabled the development of new products. NAGAO SYSTEM INC. proposes a new “monozukuri” through the application of the 3D Ball Mill. Today, there is rapidly growing demand for high added value in the form of 3D printer molding materials, battery materials, conductive paste ink, special paint, and printer ink. There are limitations to existing methods when it comes to making the transition to such innovative and value-added “monozukuri.” The simple and intrinsic quality of the mixing process lies at the back of such innovative products. There is rapidly growing demand for mixing services, which influence this quality. Are there rapidly growing needs for mixing services? [Current challenges] (1) There is a need to mix resin and metals (or ceramics). However, due to the considerable difference in specific gravity, they do not mix well. (2) Currently, mixing is carried out with pellicles. However, this generates shearing heat such that the resin undergoes thermal changes, making it difficult to mix the substances well. [NAGAO SYSTEM INC. can solve these problems through the use of the 3D Ball Mill] (1) Realize non-coagulation in mixing and milling. (2) Realize single peak mixing and milling
